module ActionController #:nodoc:
+
+ # Presenter is responsible to expose a resource for different mime requests,
+ # usually depending on the HTTP verb. The presenter is triggered when
+ # respond_with is called. The simplest case to study is a GET request:
+ #
+ # class PeopleController < ApplicationController
+ # respond_to :html, :xml, :json
+ #
+ # def index
+ # @people = Person.find(:all)
+ # respond_with(@people)
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # When a request comes, for example with format :xml, three steps happen:
+ #
+ # 1) respond_with searches for a template at people/index.xml;
+ #
+ # 2) if the template is not available, it will create a presenter, passing
+ # the controller and the resource, and invoke :to_xml on it;
+ #
+ # 3) if the presenter does not respond_to :to_xml, call to_format on it.
+ #
+ # === Builtin HTTP verb semantics
+ #
+ # Rails default presenter holds semantics for each HTTP verb. Depending on the
+ # content type, verb and the resource status, it will behave differently.
+ #
+ # Using Rails default presenter, a POST request could be written as:
+ #
+ # def create
+ # @user = User.new(params[:user])
+ # flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.' if @user.save
+ # respond_with(@user)
+ # end
+ #
+ # Which is exactly the same as:
+ #
+ # def create
+ # @user = User.new(params[:user])
+ #
+ # respond_to do |format|
+ # if @user.save
+ # flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.'
+ # format.html { redirect_to(@user) }
+ # format.xml { render :xml => @user, :status => :created, :location => @user }
+ # else
+ # format.html { render :action => "new" }
+ # format.xml { render :xml => @user.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # The same happens for PUT and DELETE requests. By default, it accepts just
+ # :location as parameter, which is used as redirect destination, in both
+ # POST, PUT, DELETE requests for HTML mime, as in the example below:
+ #
+ # def destroy
+ # @person = Person.find(params[:id])
+ # @person.destroy
+ # respond_with(@person, :location => root_url)
+ # end
+ #
+ # === Nested resources
+ #
+ # You can given nested resource as you do in form_for and polymorphic_url.
+ # Consider the project has many tasks example. The create action for
+ # TasksController would be like:
+ #
+ # def create
+ # @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
+ # @task = @project.comments.build(params[:task])
+ # flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully created.' if @task.save
+ # respond_with([@project, @task])
+ # end
+ #
+ # Given a nested resource, you ensure that the presenter will redirect to
+ # project_task_url instead of task_url.
+ #
+ # Namespaced and singleton resources requires a symbol to be given, as in
+ # polymorphic urls. If a project has one manager which has many tasks, it
+ # should be invoked as:
+ #
+ # respond_with([@project, :manager, @task])
+ #
+ # Check polymorphic_url documentation for more examples.

- # respond_with allows you to respond an action with a given resource. It
- # requires that you set your class with a respond_to method with the
- # formats allowed:
- #
- # class PeopleController < ApplicationController
- # respond_to :html, :xml, :json
- #
- # def index
- # @people = Person.find(:all)
- # respond_with(@people)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # When a request comes, for example with format :xml, three steps happen:
- #
- # 1) respond_with searches for a template at people/index.xml;
- #
- # 2) if the template is not available, it will check if the given
- # resource responds to :to_xml.
- #
- # 3) if a :location option was provided, redirect to the location with
- # redirect status if a string was given, or render an action if a
- # symbol was given.
- #
- # If all steps fail, a missing template error will be raised.
- #
- # === Supported options
- #
- # [status]
- # Sets the response status.
- #
- # [head]
- # Tell respond_with to set the content type, status and location header,
- # but do not render the object, leaving the response body empty. This
- # option only has effect if the resource is being rendered. If a
- # template was found, it's going to be rendered anyway.
- #
- # [location]
- # Sets the location header with the given value. It accepts a string,
- # representing the location header value, or a symbol representing an
- # action name.
- #
- # === Builtin HTTP verb semantics
- #
- # respond_with holds semantics for each HTTP verb. Depending on the verb
- # and the resource status, respond_with will automatically set the options
- # above.
- #
- # Above we saw an example for GET requests, where actually no option is
- # configured. A create action for POST requests, could be written as:
- #
- # def create
- # @person = Person.new(params[:person])
- # @person.save
- # respond_with(@person)
- # end
+ # respond_with wraps a resource around a presenter for default representation.
+ # First it invokes respond_to, if a response cannot be found (ie. no block
+ # for the request was given and template was not available), it instantiates
+ # an ActionController::Presenter with the controller and resource.
#
- # respond_with will inspect the @person object and check if we have any
- # error. If errors are empty, it will add status and location to the options
- # hash. Then the create action in case of success, is equivalent to this:
+ # ==== Example
#
- # respond_with(@person, :status => :created, :location => @person)
- #
- # From them on, the lookup happens as described above. Let's suppose a :xml
- # request and we don't have a people/create.xml template. But since the
- # @person object responds to :to_xml, it will render the newly created
- # resource and set status and location.
- #
- # However, if the request is :html, a template is not available and @person
- # does not respond to :to_html. But since a :location options was provided,
- # it will redirect to it.
- #
- # In case of failures (when the @person could not be saved and errors are
- # not empty), respond_with can be expanded as this:
- #
- # respond_with(@person.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity, :location => :new)
- #
- # In other words, respond_with(@person) for POST requests is expanded
- # internally into this:
- #
- # def create
- # @person = Person.new(params[:person])
- #
- # if @person.save
- # respond_with(@person, :status => :created, :location => @person)
- # else
- # respond_with(@person.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity, :location => :new)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # For an update action for PUT requests, we would have:
- #
- # def update
- # @person = Person.find(params[:id])
- # @person.update_attributes(params[:person])
- # respond_with(@person)
- # end
- #
- # Which, in face of success and failure scenarios, can be expanded as:
- #
- # def update
- # @person = Person.find(params[:id])
- # @person.update_attributes(params[:person])
- #
- # if @person.save
- # respond_with(@person, :status => :ok, :location => @person, :head => true)
- # else
- # respond_with(@person.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity, :location => :edit)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # Notice that in case of success, we just need to reply :ok to the client.
- # The option :head ensures that the object is not rendered.
- #
- # Finally, we have the destroy action with DELETE verb:
- #
- # def destroy
- # @person = Person.find(params[:id])
- # @person.destroy
- # respond_with(@person)
+ # def index
+ # @users = User.all
+ # respond_with(@users)
# end
#
- # Which is expanded as:
+ # It also accepts a block to be given. It's used to overwrite a default
+ # response:
#
# def destroy
- # @person = Person.find(params[:id])
- # @person.destroy
- # respond_with(@person, :status => :ok, :location => @person, :head => true)
- # end
- #
- # In this case, since @person.destroyed? returns true, polymorphic urls will
- # redirect to the collection url, instead of the resource url.
+ # @user = User.find(params[:id])
+ # flash[:notice] = "User was successfully created." if @user.save
#
- # === Nested resources
- #
- # respond_with also works with nested resources, you just need to pass them
- # as you do in form_for and polymorphic_url. Consider the project has many
- # tasks example. The create action for TasksController would be like:
- #
- # def create
- # @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
- # @task = @project.comments.build(params[:task])
- # @task.save
- # respond_with([@project, @task])
+ # respond_with(@user) do |format|
+ # format.html { render }
+ # end
# end
#
- # Namespaced and singleton resources requires a symbol to be given, as in
- # polymorphic urls. If a project has one manager with has many tasks, it
- # should be invoked as:
- #
- # respond_with([@project, :manager, @task])
- #
- # Be sure to check polymorphic_url documentation. The only occasion you will
- # need to give clear input to respond_with is in DELETE verbs for singleton
- # resources. In such cases, the collection url does not exist, so you need
- # to supply the destination url after delete:
- #
- # def destroy
- # @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
- # @manager = @project.manager
- # @manager.destroy
- # respond_with([@project, @manager], :location => root_url)
- # end
+ # All options given to respond_with are sent to the underlying presenter.
